mine.”

Everything Else You Need to
Know About Using Issuu
What are best What are best
practices for uploading my files?

Are there limits on the size of
my publication?

It’s best if you upload PDF files, although
we accept other text-based file types and
Power Points (PPT). Make sure your PDF
is using a single page (vs. spreads) layout.

If you are on the Premium plan, your
publication can have up to 5,000 pages
and be up to 500 MB in size. For the Starter
plan, each publication can have up to 500
pages and be up to 100 MB in size.

Our system will automatically convert
your document to a 2-page spread. If you
upload your publication in a 2-page spread,
it will show up on issuu as 4 pages.

How technical is it to embed
a publication on my site?
Embedding a publication is one of our
customers’ favorite features: you can
customize the look of the embedde reader
according to your brand style guide,
and give your readers a distraction-free
experience.
Embedding is super easy. After you upload
your document, you can adjust a few
styling options to your liking, and we will
generate an embed code that reflects your
customizations. After that, you simply copy
that code and paste it into your website’s
editor. That’s it.

You can upload as many files as you’d like!

Can readers download my
publications?
Some readers prefer to download
publications so they can read them
when offline. As a publisher, you get to
decide whether your publications can be
downloaded or not.
If you are on the Free or Starter plan,
your readers need to sign up for an Issuu
account or log into an existing issuu
account in order to download
the publication.
If you are on the Premium or Optimum
plan, your readers can download your
publications from your Embed and
Shareable Full-Screen Reader without
requiring a login.
